: With "Φτιάχνομαι", which can apply for both drugs and alcohol. Unless both μαστουρώνω and μεθάω can be used in the text.

μαστουρώνω / μεθάω
The first term is for drugs only (heavy slang) while the second one for alcohol and is the equivalent for getting drunk.
Other than that "φτιάχνομαι" can be used for both.

την βρίσκω
more generic, not just for drug ab/use or drinking.
την βρίσκω με το ρίσκο (sort of indulge in taking risks)
low confidence as it is generic and not strictly applicable to drugs and so on but could be worth considering.
είμαι ανεβασμένος > I am high
